Faint heart
World can wait for the weary hands
To learn it's too late
But I'm spit and I'm rough dirt
What do you want from me?

Faint heart
Tip of my tongue
I sold my youth, wasted all day young
And it's over, over
What kind of father could I be?

Faint heart
Rain to the spark
At last my light, given in to dark
And the thought of it crumbling to dust
No, I was not done

Faint heart
Beg she won't see the coward, the cur
Maybe this is me
These hands shaped stone
But I'm scared like you wouldn't believe it

Faint heart
Only a glimpse
I was wrong, take it back, just let this one live
Then it hits me like ice, to the thought:
What if I'm just like him?

Good god
Give me the strength that I need not to be
To fight, not to flee
Or succumb to the beast underneath
What if he's just like me?

Naked in the wild
All was reconciled
When I held my child

Naked in the wild
All was reconciled
When I held my child

Quiet mind
Please
Quiet mind
Reach
Quiet mind
Be at peace
Reach

We are the fire that whispers our mother's words
Help me love (help me love)
We are the soil that joy gave form

We are the dream and these are my father's hands
Help me love (help me love)
We are the soil that joy gave form
Help me finish it

Rising waves cry "he'll go first..."
He'll go first
(You know it is all that's left of your dream)
[You know that it is true]
Is all this nothing to you?
[Hope sings to the dust of you]
Fear...
(What if they were right?)
[He was always the better]
He was always the better
[The thief who shapes the world.]
The thief who shapes the images we dreamed
[Dreamed for nothing]
All unfinished dreams...
For nothing
(The images you dreamed were for nothing...)
(Take back what's yours, don't keep me waiting)
[Take back what's yours, don't keep me waiting]
Just take back what's yours, don't keep me waiting
No more hope, broken pieces in your hands
[In your weary hands]
Waves rushing in
I'm waiting
I wait

He sees me
Waves receding
The child, healing my hurt one day at a time
I'd feared it
Just like me
The child, healing my hurt one day at a time
Storm's distant
I'm still closer than ever and
I'm healing my hurt
One day I'll repay this kind
Is all he sees me whole?

Her voice is telling me
To breathe and let it be
The lion
Heed my words

The man arise from earth
The life the lie is worth
The liar
Heed my words
Who could fight?

The wound that would not heal
The boy, the broken wheel
The lion
Heed my hurt

The wind that whips the waves
The spit, the second grave
The liar
Heed my hurt
You could fight

We are the fire that whispers our mother's words
Help me love (help me love)
We are the soil that joy gave form

We are the dream and these are my father's hands
Help me love (help me love)
We are the soil that joy gave form

Waves receding and
Faith is fading like the sun
The work left undone

Greed brought us here
Soon, blood to soil

Now that it's been taken from me
Tell me it was all for nothing
All mine [?]

Play the part, the eyes, the witness
That I can touch you deep, can you feel this?
Alright [?]

Breathe and let it be

Carving out the world that you stole
Bite down on it, dig a new hole
Oh hands

I beg you, break stone beneath me
Knowing that she won't forgive me

Not this time, not again
But she married my anger too

And what am I to stay to my son now?
My work undone
And what am I to stay to my son now?

Hands shape stone
Reconcile
